[0057] LED单元10包括电源和控制单元100，该电源和控制单元100优选为固定到LED模块20的外壳30的顶部，所述LED模块20自身包含LED50。 LED module fixed to the top of the housing 20 [0057] LED 10 includes a power supply unit and a control unit 100, the power supply control unit 100, and preferably 30, and the LED module 20 itself comprises LED50.外壳30优选为由重量轻的金属制造，例如铝。 Housing 30 is preferably made of a lightweight metal, such as aluminum.模块连接器120被提供以允许所述模块连接到交通工具电力和通信系统。 The connector module 120 is provided to allow the module is connected to the vehicle power and communication systems.单元10可以安装到交通工具安装元件302 (其不构成单元10的一部分)。 Unit 10 may be mounted to a vehicle mounting member 302 (a portion of which do not constitute unit 10).图1B是图1A中所示的单元10的顶部透视图，并且该视图进一步说明了将连接器120与电源和控制单元100的电子器件接合的模块连接器电缆122。 FIG 1B is a top perspective view of the unit shown in FIG. 1A 10, and this view illustrates a further cable connector module connector 120 and the power supply and control electronics unit 100 engaged 122.

[0058] 图2A-D示出了另一个实施例，其中连接器120不使用延伸到电源和控制单元100的外部的连接器电缆122。 [0058] FIGS. 2A-D show another embodiment in which the connector 120 does not extend to the use of an external cable 122 connected to the power supply and control unit 100.图2D提供了三个示例性LED单元10的组件的标称长度。 Figure 2D provides a nominal length of three exemplary LED assembly unit 10.

[0061] 以下将更详细地讨论的是，LED模块10的实施例的变化包括(但不限于)模块的尺寸、插头配置(即具有或不具有延伸到模块连接器的外部电缆122)、补偿或未补偿的、以及彩色或白光的LED。 [0061] will be discussed in more detail, the variation of the embodiment of the LED module 10 include (but are not limited to) size of the module, the plug configuration (i.e., with or without external cables extending to the connector module 122), the compensation or compensation, and an LED or white color.补偿和未补偿的区别在于LED可以基于制造变量、工作温度和老化程度而变化色彩和强度的事实。 Uncompensated difference compensation and that the LED may be based on manufacturing variables, operating temperature and the fact that the degree of aging change of color and intensity.补偿的LED模块10通常是彩色模块，其中安装前的校准已被执行并且之后校准和调节信息被存储在所述模块内或所述交通工具的控制系统内。 Compensation is usually color LED module 10 module, wherein the calibration has been performed before installation, and after the adjustment and the calibration information is stored in the control system of the vehicle or module.在这些设计中，高水平的彩色信息可以被提供到单元10，并且可以进行适当的修改以确保单元10内以及模块间的色彩在某种程度上不改变，使得其可以易于被乘客发觉。 In these designs, a high level of color information may be provided to the unit 10, and may be appropriately modified to ensure that the color of the unit and between modules 10 is not changed in a way, so that it can easily be found passengers.

[0062] 然而，实现这种配置所必须的补偿、校准和电路引入了附加的成本，由此可能期望，特别是在需要白光LED时可能期望消除附加的硬件开销和生产成本。 [0062] However, such a configuration necessary to achieve compensation, calibration circuit and introduces additional costs, thus it may be desirable, particularly when the white LED may be desirable to eliminate the need for additional hardware and manufacturing overhead costs.更低端的设计意图成为简单的低成本设计结构，其在固定的白色光温度下布置硬件和软件/固件。 The lower end design intended to be a simple low cost design structure disposed hardware and software / firmware white light at a fixed temperature.

[0063] 图3A是说明了使用一系列补偿或未补偿的LED单元10的示例性结构的系统逻辑框图，其中的每一个可以是图1A至图2H中说明(例示)的一个或更多个模块。 [0063] Figure 3A illustrates a logical block diagram of an exemplary system configuration of a series compensated or uncompensated use of LED units 10, each of which may be a 1A to 2H illustrated (illustrated) or more module.如可从图3A中看出的，交通工具/飞行器电力发电机310可以经由电路断路器面板312连接到LED单元10。 As can be seen from Figure 3A, the vehicle / aircraft electrical power generator 310 may be connected to the LED unit 10 via a circuit breaker panel 312.LED单元10优选配置为与飞行器控制设备和115VAC400HZ电力一起使用。 The LED unit 10 is preferably configured for use with the aircraft control equipment and power 115VAC400HZ.LED模块控制器(LC-A) 200优选被设计为控制多达8个LED单元10，并且每个LED单元10接收来自控制器LC-A200的命令。 LED module controller (LC-A) 200 is preferably designed to control up to eight LED units 10, and each LED unit 10 receives a command from the controller LC-A200.

[0064] 在这种布置中，每个LED单元10可以具有自身的主电力连接以及专用串行通信，例如RS485控制信号。 [0064] In this arrangement, each LED unit 10 may have its own dedicated serial main power connection and communication, such as RS485 control signal.LED单元10还可以配置为具有两个独立的控制信号。 LED unit 10 may also be configured with two independent control signals.在一个实施例中，由于每个控制信号路径均是专用的，所以在LED单元10中无需寻址开关或引脚编程。 In one embodiment, since each control signal path are proprietary, so the LED unit 10 without an addressable switch or pin programming.控制器LC-A单元200传送命令到LED单元10并且可以接收关于其健康的信息。 LC-A controller unit 200 transmits a command to the LED unit 10 and may receive information about their health.

[0065] 在所示的实施例中，LED单元10和控制器LC-A200之间的通信结构是主从的，其中控制器LC-A200是主，而LED单元10是从。 [0065] In the illustrated embodiment, the communication structure between the LED unit 10 and a controller LC-A200 is a master-slave, the controller LC-A200 which is the master, and the LED unit 10 from.然而，其他配置是可行的，例如对等(peer-to-peer)结构。 However, other configurations are possible, for example, peer (peer-to-peer) structure.在这种设计中，不要求经过LED单元10的通信(和电力)的雏菊链。 In this design, after the communication is not required (and power) of the LED unit 10 in a daisy chain.在本实施例中，每个LED单元10优选为具有专用RS485连接，但是如上所述，LED单元10可以具有两个专用RS485端口。 In the present embodiment, each LED unit 10 is preferably a dedicated RS485 connection, but as described above, the LED unit 10 may have two dedicated RS485 ports.在这种配置中，LED单元10不要求寻址。 In this configuration, LED unit 10 is not required addressing.然而，还可以提供用于LED单元10的一些形式的寻址。 However, it may also be provided for some forms of addressing the LED unit 10.

[0066] 图3B是说明了可以在所述系统中使用的示例性单元10的框图。 [0066] FIG. 3B is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary means that may be used in the system 10.LED单元10可以包括LED模块20，该LED模块20容纳可以被组织为LED串52的LED50，并且电源和控制模块100经由连接器/接口185连接在一起。 LED unit 10 may include an LED module 20, the LED module 20 may be organized as a receiving LED 50 LED strings 52, and the power and control module 100 are connected together via a connector / interface 185.

[0067] LED模块20包括外罩/外壳30,外罩/外壳30包含具有其各自的驱动器的多个LED50或LED串52。 [0067] LED module 20 includes a housing / enclosure 30, enclosure / housing 30 includes a plurality of LED strings or LED50 52 has its own drive.LED控制总线60提供控制信号信息到LED串。 LED control information bus 60 provides control signals to the LED strings.LED控制总线60经由连接器/接口185连接到电源和控制模块100。 LED control bus 60 is connected to the power supply and control module 100 via a connector / interface 185.

[0068] 电源和控制模块100在其电源150处以115VAC/400HZ接收线电压140。 [0068] The power control module 100 and the imposed 115VAC / 400HZ voltage line 140 receives its power supply 150.隔离屏障145可以用于隔离飞行器主电压115VAC与模块/线路水平电压LV，所述模块/线路水平电压LV是模块20、100运转所用的电压。 Isolation barrier 145 may be used to isolate the primary voltage is 115VAC aircraft and the module / line level voltage LV, the module voltage / line voltage LV is the level used by the module operation 20,100.

[0069] 在没有可用的机壳接地连接可用的配置中，提供了一个实施例，其中在全部单元中的115VAC/400HZ电源模块150位于塑料外壳中以避免电击事故。 [0069] In the chassis ground connection is not available configuration available, there is provided an embodiment, wherein 115VAC / 400HZ full power module unit 150 is located in a plastic housing in order to avoid an electrical shock.所述模块的低电压(例如小于30VDC或VAC)输出被传递到电源模块内的控制电路并且之后被传递到铝外壳30中的LED50上。 The low voltage module (e.g., less than 30VDC or VAC) is transmitted to the output control circuit in the power supply module and is then transferred to an aluminum housing 30 LED50.铝外壳30容纳LED50和相关联的电路，所述外壳未接地并且通常是浮动的。 Aluminum housing 30 accommodating LED50 and associated circuitry, the housing is not grounded and are typically floating.两个电源例如可以考虑为:一个低功率C25VA)并且一个高功率r50VA)，并且可以按需使用。 For example, two power source may be considered: a low-power C25VA) and a high power r50VA), and may be used as desired.这些电源可以与其他电子部件在电流上隔离并且可以用于更大和/或更长的LED单元10。 The power source may be isolated and used to larger and / or longer the LED unit 10 in the current and other electronic components.[0070] 已知的是对于给定的电压或电流输入，LED的光输出可以基于温度变化。 [0070] It is known that for a given input voltage or current, LED light output may be based on a temperature change.换句话说，如果温度被允许变化，则严格控制的电压或电流不能确保严格控制的照明。 In other words, if the temperature is allowed to vary, the strict control of the lighting voltage or current can not be secured tightly controlled.因此，如果期望严格控制的照明，则可取的是监控温度，使得可以进行适当的基于温度的调节。 Thus, if the desired illumination strictly controlled, it is advisable to monitor the temperature, such may be appropriately adjusted based on the temperature.

[0071] 图3B提供了一个示例，其中温度传感器170被提供在电源和控制模块100内。 [0071] Figure 3B provides an example in which the temperature sensor 170 is provided within the power supply and control module 100.温度传感器170向微控制器160提供输入，所述微控制器160可以使用用于调节由LED驱动控制190提供的驱动量的温度信息。 Temperature sensor 170 provides an input to the microcontroller 160, the microcontroller 160 may be used for adjusting the driving amount by the LED driver 190 provides the control of temperature information.例如，微控制器160可以接入关于LED50或LED串20的信息，可能的是在特定温度下(例如25°C )基于之前的测试和校准数据进行所述接入，并且所述微控制器160还可以利用公式或在校准期间获得的附加数据，从而获知如何补偿被传输的电力以便维持例如35°C时的亮度和色彩。 For example, the microcontroller 160 may access information about or LED50 LED string 20, the access is possible based on previous test and calibration data at a particular temperature (e.g. 25 ° C), and the microcontroller 160 may also be utilized in the formulas or the additional data obtained during calibration to find out how to compensate the transmitted power in order to maintain brightness and color, for example, at 35 ° C.

[0072] 可行的是校准LED50或LED组/串52，使得可以获知针对一定范围的电压或电流并且针对一定范围的温度的光输出特性。 [0072] is possible to calibrate or LED50 LED group / string 52, such that the light output characteristic can be known and for a range of voltage or current for a range of temperatures.这可以例如通过预先安装的校准程序确定，其应用变化的电压或电流以及温度，并且之后测量光输出。 This may for example be determined by a calibration program preinstalled application varying voltage or current, and temperature, and then the light output was measured.输入和输出变量之后可以被存储在表格中并且与LED50或LED组52相关联，使得LED可以被严格控制。 After the input and output variables can be stored in a table and with or LED50 LED group 52 is associated, so that the LED can be tightly controlled.

[0073] 可行的是即便是LED单元10内的温度也可以基于多个因数变化，例如所述单元放置的位置处的温度梯度、在特定位置的非均匀加热等等。 [0073] is possible even if the temperature inside the 10 LED unit may change based on a plurality of factors, such as the unit is placed at the position of the temperature gradient, non-uniform heating at a particular location and the like.因此，期望获知LED或LED组附近的具体温度以用于更精确的控制。 Accordingly, it is desirable to know the temperature of the vicinity of the particular LED or LED group for more precise control.

[0074] 如图3C所示，每个LED和驱动器53或LED串50、52具有其自身的相关联的温度传感器54。 [0074] As shown in FIG. 3C, each LED driver 53 and LED array 50, 52, or has its own associated temperature sensor 54.然而，同样可行的是使用更少的传感器来采样更大面积的温度。 However, it is also possible to use fewer temperature sensors to sample a larger area.

[0075] 同样如图3C所示，LED单元10可以包括LED控制总线60和外围控制总线65，LED驱动器经由所述LED控制总线60接收用于控制LED照明的信号，所述外围控制总线65允许至微控制器160的信息流。 [0075] Also shown in Figure 3C, LED control unit 10 may comprise an LED 60 and a peripheral bus control bus 65, the LED driver via bus 60 receives LED control signal LED lighting control for controlling the peripheral bus 65 to allow stream to the microcontroller 160.
